Brother?
The Shen Ge Clan experts stared at Ye Xuan, their faces full of astonishment.
This Young Master Ye was already so formidable, yet his sister was even more terrifying?
A family of powerhouses!
Of course, after the shock, the Shen Ge Clan experts were ecstatic.
The Ancient Legacy Clan had been annihilated!
Thousands of True Immortal Realm experts, slaughtered to the last!
With one sword!
The Shen Ge Clan experts were still somewhat dazed.
Was this sword-wielding young lady really that ferocious?
Gu Yi was completely stunned.
One sword?
His entire clan wiped out?
That single strike had shattered his understanding.
At that moment, he finally understood why Princess Qi, a Supreme God Realm expert, had retreated.
Young Master Ye had a ruthless ally!
It was over!
Gu Yi slowly closed his eyes as his body and soul began to burn.
At this point, words were meaningless.
Better to end it himself, with some dignity.
Ye Qingqing glanced coldly at the burning Gu Yi. “Did I say you could die?”
With that, she waved her sleeve, extinguishing the flames. A wisp of sword energy pierced his brow, pinning him in place.
Gu Yi glared at Ye Qingqing, unable to speak, but his eyes said everything.
Ye Qingqing ignored him and turned to Ye Xuan. “Want to get stronger?”
Ye Xuan nodded eagerly.
He knew it was time to power up!
Haha…
Ye Qingqing said calmly, “Come with me.”
She turned to leave.
Ye Xuan hesitated, then said, “Let me handle something first.”
Ye Qingqing stopped. “Hurry up.”
Ye Xuan nodded quickly and turned to the Shen Ge Clan leader. “Clan Leader, I have a request…”
Moments later, Ye Xuan followed Ye Qingqing, disappearing from everyone’s sight.
After Ye Xuan and Ye Qingqing left, the Shen Ge Clan members looked at each other.
A moment later, they erupted in joy!
Cheers filled the air.
Elsewhere, a woman quietly observed everything.
Princess Qi!
She hadn’t truly left but had been watching from the shadows.
Seeing Ye Qingqing’s terrifying strength, she fell silent.
Was Supreme God the limit?
Clearly not!
Princess Qi looked at the Shen Ge Clan. After a long while, she sighed softly and turned to leave.
The War General beside her suddenly said, “Your Highness…”
Princess Qi said, “The Shen Ge Clan’s fate is not to end here.”
The War General’s face was grim.
Princess Qi smiled. “But they won’t last long. This generation’s leader, Li Ge, is wise and valiant, resolving their crisis. But in a few thousand years, the Shen Ge Clan will still fall. We just need to wait.”
The War General was puzzled. “Why?”
Princess Qi said softly, “This generation, they have a Child of Destiny protecting them, avoiding calamity. But in a few thousand years… the cycle of karma will come. They’ll provoke another Child of Destiny.”
The War General said gravely, “Your Highness, is Young Master Ye a Child of Destiny?”
Princess Qi nodded. “If he weren’t, how could he so recklessly stir up karma?”
The War General hesitated, then asked, “Who’s stronger, him or the next Child of Destiny?”
Princess Qi smiled. “Each is invincible in their own era.”
With that, she turned and left.
The War General was baffled.
He had to admit, Princess Qi now felt unfamiliar to him.
…
Desolate Land, Barren City.
Zhang Lao sat before stone steps, silent.
He was awaiting the clan’s orders.
He was finished!
A lifetime of hard work, all for nothing.
Looking at the plan in his hand, he gave a bitter smile. He’d stayed up nights crafting it. Given time, he could have achieved greatness.
But reality had dealt him a harsh blow.
This time, he’d been thoroughly fooled!
Sigh.
Zhang Lao sighed softly.
At that moment, a black-robed elder appeared before him. Zhang Lao said quietly, “How will the clan punish me?”
The elder was stunned, then laughed. “Zhang Lao, congratulations!”
Zhang Lao froze.
The elder quickly helped him up, smiling. “Zhang Lao, congratulations! You’re now the deputy leader of the elder council. Moreover, you’ve been appointed as Lady Ge’s chief minister, overseeing all construction for the Guanxuan Academy. Pack up and come with me to the clan!”
Zhang Lao was petrified.
Deputy leader of the elder council?
Lady Ge’s chief minister?
What?
The black-robed elder’s tone was full of flattery.
Everyone knew Zhang Lao was a confidant of Young Master Ye and Lady Ge.
His future influence would be immense!
Zhang Lao felt like he was dreaming.
…
Elsewhere, Nan Youyou was hurrying back to the Shen Ge Clan.
She’d been promoted too!
This was, of course, Ye Xuan’s doing.
These two had followed him from the start, and he hadn’t forgotten them.
Especially Zhang Lao, an honest and capable man. Ye Xuan had promoted him to oversee all construction for the Guanxuan Academy in the Shen Ge Domain.
At that moment, a woman suddenly blocked Nan Youyou’s path.
She had long hair, wore a green dress, and held a thick ancient book, smiling at Nan Youyou.
Nan Youyou was stunned, then exclaimed, “Ancestor!”
The woman smiled. “Come with me.”
Nan Youyou hesitated, then asked, “Where to?”
The woman said, “To help you grow.”
Nan Youyou: “…”
In the end, she chose to follow her ancestor.
On the way, Nan Youyou was curious. “Ancestor, guess who I met? Uncle Yang’s son! Do you know him?”
The woman smiled. “I don’t, but I’ve heard of him.”
Nan Youyou said seriously, “He’s very thick-skinned.”
Ye Xuan: “…”
The woman laughed. “His father’s thick-skinned too.”
The man in green: “…”
Nan Youyou was curious. “Ancestor, where are we going?”
The woman said, “To broaden your horizons.”
Nan Youyou grew more curious. “Broaden my horizons?”
The woman smiled. “Yes.”
Nan Youyou hesitated, then said, “Ancestor, that Child of Destiny appeared earlier! But it wasn’t the one in the plain skirt, but one with a black sword…”
The woman said softly, “The Taiyou Sword.”
Nan Youyou looked at her. The woman said quietly, “She once promised the Green-Shirted Sword Master not to reunite with him for now, but she couldn’t hold back.”
She shook her head slightly, saying no more.
Nan Youyou wanted to ask more, but the woman suddenly took her, and they vanished, swiftly traversing endless spacetime star domains.
…
Elsewhere, in endless spacetime, Ye Xuan and Ye Qingqing rode their swords.
Ye Qingqing held her sword, silent.
Ye Xuan smiled. “Qing’er?”
Ye Qingqing glanced at him. “What?”
Ye Xuan grinned. “Nothing, just wanted to call you.”
Ye Qingqing glared at him. “Less nonsense.”
Ye Xuan laughed, then said, “Qing’er, where are we going this time?”
Ye Qingqing asked, “That woman taught you the folding technique?”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Yes! Impressive, right?”
Ye Qingqing said calmly, “What’s impressive about it? You’ve seen too little, so you think it’s impressive.”
Ye Xuan smiled faintly. “Qing’er, I know you fought her before. Can you tell me why you fought?”
He was curious about that past conflict.
Since these sisters were originally one, they shouldn’t have fought.
Ye Qingqing was silent for a while, then said, “Because of you.”
Ye Xuan froze.
Ye Qingqing glanced at him. “You once said you hoped we’d protect the three-dimensional universe, and she did so at first. We were at peace. But later, she wanted to destroy the Dao, wiping out the entire three-dimensional universe. So we fought her.”
Ye Xuan was puzzled. “Why did she want to destroy it?”
Ye Qingqing looked at him. “Also because of you.”
Ye Xuan fell silent.
Ye Qingqing said softly, “At first, we all opposed her, thinking you couldn’t return. But she was right. She broke her own limits, reached new heights, and forcibly changed your fate against the heavens…”
Ye Xuan suddenly asked, “If you’d known she was right from the start, would you have stopped her?”
Ye Qingqing stopped and looked at him. “If we’d known she was right, it would’ve been your father who died.”
Ye Xuan’s expression froze.
Ye Qingqing said, “As long as you could defy fate, we wouldn’t have stopped her. Though your goal was to protect this universe, compared to you living, we’d rather see it destroyed.”
Ye Xuan was silent.
Ye Qingqing added, “I used to dislike her, always acting like she could do anything. But later, I realised, whether I liked her or not, she truly could do anything.”
She shook her head. “When we split, she inherited too much talent.”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Ye Qingqing looked at him. “Regardless, the outcome is good. You’re alive, and that’s enough. Our duty now is to protect you, help you transcend this universe, enter the True Void Universe, and become invincible, free from all karma.”
Ye Xuan hesitated, then asked, “What are you all afraid of?”
Ye Qingqing looked at him. “That you’ll be done for.”
Ye Xuan’s face darkened.
Ye Qingqing added, “Everything has an end. We need you to become self-invincible, reaching the level of the Three Swords, before that end comes.”
Ye Xuan was curious. “Qing’er, how does your strength compare to Plain-Skirt Qing’er?”
He was very curious about their strengths.
Ye Qingqing looked at him. “Undefeated and indestructible under the Three Swords.”
Ye Xuan hesitated, then asked, “Can I reach that level now, undefeated and indestructible under the Three Swords?”
Ye Qingqing walked up to him, pinched his face, and said, “Are you dreaming?”
Ye Xuan: “…”
